Oh, I wish I had taken pics of this place! It wasn't majestic or anything, but they had such a good supply of cards. Hopefully, you'll go and see it yourself. It was located in an unnoticeable building and the store wasn't noticeable either, but they had a good crowd inside playing. More importantly, they had a nice selection of both sealed product and individual packs and cards. Prices were reasonable, especially in this market. Best of all the people who ran the shop were friendly and helpful. SELECTION: Pokemon and Magic the Gathering are plentiful here. They had more than most shops and a good selection of Japanese Pokemon. Sadly no Japanese MTG in stock, but a really good selection otherwise. SERVICE: Excellent! Very helpful staff and friendly. Definitely would shop here if we lived in the area. COST: Reasonable. The service makes it even more worthwhile. read more

Great place for Pokémon cards. Generally most things are regular retail pricing, but if it something highly sought after like the Charizard Ultra Premium Collection, it is more expensive than retail. The two times that I have gone there, the employees were really nice. I am a little sad that they have moved locations and that the parking there is not as readily available though. read more

Loved this shop. They had a great selection of Pokemon cards and other cards and the workers were really friendly and helpful

I've been a customer of this store since they were located across from Puck's Alley ( maybe 15 years ago?) and I've noticed the level of customer service slowly decline over the years. Last week I had an incident with them that not only prompted me to write this post, but also made me decide I will never come back to this store again. I found a MTG single listed at $9.35, so I put all 5 copies in my cart and proceeded to checkout. Upon trying to pay for the items, the total price of my cart was immediately raised from about $47 to $100, each card now being priced at $20. Shocked and confused, I refreshed my cart and now each card was $25, and the total I was asked to pay was $125 instead of the $47 asked originally. All of this happened in less than a minute. What happened next is incomprehensible. I contact their customer service and they reply via email saying things like, "wow we've never seen this happen in all our years of business" and "it was some type of fluke that our 'price adjustor' just so happened to update the price of the cards while you were trying to purchase them." ..... Like, c'mon. Give me a break. Call a spade a spade and just say that you stopped my order and increased the price because you weren't happy with the price that I was purchasing it at from your store. Don't feed me a ton of BS about flukey timing and coincidences. Just be honest. Period. Instead, I just got a bunch of tiring emails from them trying to justify the increase in price and constantly telling me I wasn't targeted specifically. ....ok, the fact the you keep telling me that really just implies to me that I indeed was targeted specifically.... moving on... So I ask if my original price will be honored since it was in my cart, and through no fault of my own I tried to purchase but was stopped. it also doesn't hurt that I've been a customer for over 15 years and have given them business through my friends that I introduce to the store. They reply that they have no way of knowing that the cards were really in my cart.... Ok... so.... by their admission the price of the card jumped from $20 to $25 in less than a minute, apparently because $20 was the incorrect price as well, but they don't believe the cards were in my cart. So to them, I stumbled upon the original price of $9, then stumbled upon the card at $20 in the single minute of the entire day that it was this price, and then stumbled on it again at $25. HELLO GUYS! USE THE BRAIN.... you can see why these emails were so frustrating, because very obvious simple things were being misconstrued to fit their narrative, but their narrative lacked common sense. Obviously the cards were in my cart and I saw you change the price on me twice within a minute as they were IN MY CART, doesn't that make more sense to you than me coincidentally stumbling on a given price that was there for less than a minute during the entire day? You changed the price of the cards I was about to buy as I was purchasing, doesn't that make more sense to you than some elaborate story about a price adjustor working on the exact same card in your hundred thousand mtg inventory at the exact same time as I was trying to purchase? SO over about $70 dollars and some exhausting emails, they lost my business and whatever business I brought to them through my friends. To me, it doesn't show much business sense on their part, but at this point I have no idea what's going on over there. I will say I think the staff should take a step back and think through things before they act. They seem like pretty intelligent guys but these actions prove otherwise. I feel bad for the owners, the adult couple I would always see in there hosting all the kids. I hope they know what's going on with the staff and that customers aren't satisfied. The intelligence and response of the staff in this incident drove me away from this store, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The real kicker: As of today, the card is back to $20 because apparently the $25 price tag was too bold on their part. And yes, all 5 copies still remain in inventory. The art of price gouging by da planet. Maybe you guys should hire me to "adjust" your price because the guy doing it for you is awful at it. read more

I have mixed feelings about this store. Positives: -Great selection of singles -Open when other shops are closed -Great pre-release/release inventory Negatives: -Their customer service lacks in the social graces regard. -They will complain about pulling cards. -They will pull cards and occasionally miss some. You need to check your cards before purchase. -Still no in store play read more

This is a great place for yogi oh and other cards games they offer great service for the customer. If you are any where in Hawaii take a few minutes out of your day and come to this place read more

I came in here to find some Pokemon cards for a kid's activity. I am not a regular customer but was treated really well. The first guy tried to help me but didn't know all the ins and outs. Later when 2 long time employees came in they found out what I wanted and quickly helped me. This saved me a lot of time. Overall I like the new location. You can see their stock better. Keep up the good customer service! read more

Da Planet's website says event participents must be present at least 10 minutes prior to start. I had arrived 2 hrs prior to a tournament, when I tried to register i was told that the event was full. So I waited for people to miss the time deadline. Which about 5 peopld did. I was not offered a spot. Then the tournament bracket was posted with only 7 pairs of people not 10 which means the tournament was not full! I drove over an hour and dealt with traffic. This is bullshit I will never be back. read more

After having the employee quote prices on cards I was selling to the store he said they could only offer 50% of the actual value, which isn't uncommon. However, he was barely offering 25% of the actual cost of the cards even at a played price on Star City. Then he tried to offer a "higher" trade value that would have made for about 30% of their actual value, but the cards he tried to sell me were marked up a full 10$ from their prices online. I'd stick with shopping online or Other Realms for your card purchases. read more

Da Planet is a card gaming store near University. They specialize in Magic: the Gathering, Pokemon, and other similar customizable card games. The location is easy to get to by bus or car, free parking is outside. There is also plenty of food in the area for those times you need something to go with your game. The store itself is brightly lit, but the ambiance is very minimal and plain. It is kept clean and nice. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase, everything is priced very minimally for the mainly school-aged clientele. Countless cards are available for purchase, also dice and other small things. They have mostly phased out their stock of board games. The regular customers and staff are friendly and welcoming. There are always people to try out new games. Not a card-gamer myself, I've only been in to play board games during non-tournament times. Despite only purchasing drinks, I still felt welcome. The store also has computer gaming, which has been expanded. read more

Da-Planet is a tight knit community of mostly trading card game players, PC gamers, and console fighting game players. This is probably the most chill community of gamers you'll ever find. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. They got weekly tournaments and have their schedule posted on their website. They constantly update their stock and prices for the current market. Come on down. You'll probably see me there! read more

Da-Planet Honolulu - Yu-Gi-Oh players - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very reasonably priced! For all your TCG geek needs, Da Planet has mostly everything you need. There appears to be a tight community within the store, as it is always packed with people playing cards or opening packs together. Most of the staff aren't helpful but one particular staff, Chris, is always very attentive, informative and friendly. Each time we've shopped here we've been offered a tiny free promo item, which is a nice added benefit. read more

Warning! this is just my opinion based on my experience and what my friends told me. I know some people have good times here. Staff: 2/5 The staff have a overall quiet and negative attitude from what I experienced. Some of the staff seemed angry at me for no reason. From what my other friends have told me it's a normal thing...which doesn't really sound like a good thing. From what some people tell me and the actions i observed they do play favorites with customers which already is a red flag in my book. Service: 2/5 If you know them personally you will get a godly good service (and from what I have seen maybe even a discount) I notice they smile and they even crack jokes at people but for some of the new people I notice they are quiet and sometimes outright talking in a irritating attitude. One of my military friend was trying to order food their and they talked in a angry tone which I did not really think was respectful. They do act neutral ( nothing good or bad) most of the time but they could definitely use some improvements. Inside: 4/5 The place is really perfect for a hangout with a small group of friends again the place is small so not the most comfortable place but not the worst either. If you have like a group of 4 or less then good anymore than that there may or may not be a issue depending on how crowded it is. Fair warning the infrastructure is old so the a/c may break at some point it has happened before. Items: 4/5 (it's a card shop so it's hard to screw this part up lol) Its a card shop so everyone should have an idea as to what they have. If you don't get good pulls from packs that's just bad luck I will say the only thing I have a bad comment on as to this is that when they are sold out they won't restock for a while. Overall The place is good to hangout and buy cards but honestly buying online is cheaper. Its a perfect place to hangout and chill. Just don;t expect good service unless you are a regular guest there. read more

do not come here if you're a girl! Place is very sexist and made me feel extremely unwelcome. Asks if I ever have any questions and when I do?? I feel like I get brushed off and ignored. Or they talk down to me like I have no idea what I'm talking about. They also price gauge insanely. Better off going to From The Heart or Windward Collectibles. read more

Planets new location brings with it good and bad. The good is that the place does not smell horribly, is well air conditioned and has a greater amount of space for activities. The bad is the parking above all during events, with local parking attendants hounding you and giving you stink eyes for reasons that I have yet to understand. Also you have to get a key for the restroom which is an inconvenience. Planet has some of the largest pool of activities for magic or any collectible card game players on Oahu. You can regularly attend magic modern on Monday, commander on Wednesday and there will always be an event on Friday and saturday and even Sunday. Their payouts are pretty healthy and entry isn't too expensive either. You can also rent consoles and computers here. Check out their Facebook and website for very current information. read more

There's no place like Da-Planet. I definitely would know now that I'm not living in Hawaii. There's no other card gaming place where SO much card gamer hang out. It's literally a community of itself in there. Now that I moved out of Hawaii, I now know how unique and great Da-Planet was. If you're a card gamer and wants to play, it's as good as it gets. Trades can be done here without problems, and you can play cards, XBox360, PS3, Wii, or computer without problems. It's also a great place to meet up with your buddies and play cards for a bit before heading out to hang out. Cheap tournaments are definitely a plus (like $10 Magic:the Gathering FNM Drafts!) when you and your card gaming buddies are planning to go eat out or whenever you would like to buy their singles. (which happens to also be very cheap) Employees are definitely the hardest working of the bunch. Constantly updating the stock while helping customers all the time. It's also nice to talk to them once in a while too. I sure enjoyed being at Da-Planet while I still lived in Hawaii. read more

Not my first time here but was able to hang a little more now to get a feel of the atmosphere. First I'd like to thank Chris and Brian (I hope I spelled there name right). Really awesome guys to help me catch up on my Magic the Gathering game. Learned a lot of new tournaments going on, since I haven't slaughtering players back in 99'. Well daddy's back to rule the realm and conquer all!!! read more

Summary: I feel like a kid again getting excited about playing Pokemon on Saturdays! I love Da-Planet! Besides Pokemon, they have all kinds of different cards, tournaments, and much more. The prices are pretty reasonable for all their items and even on their single cards. It's a great place to play games and meet new people! All the staff are really nice and know their stuff too. They legitimately love what they do and are all for keeping a positive atmosphere. It's a perfect cheap thing to do that doesn't make you break the bank,...unless you buy more cards. It takes a lot of restraint. It's like trying to go to costco and only leave buying one item. Pros: Variety of Cards and Merchandise for reasonable prices Constant tournaments and events going on throughout the week Awesome staff Positive Environment It's Fun! Cons: Can't think of anything Conclusion I come here for all my card needs. Although Double Dragon in Mililani is a lot closer to where we live, the drive is worth coming to Da Planet. It's always fun and can't wait to play again! read more

My wife and I dropped in for the Friday booster draft while vacationing in Honolulu. The staff was very welcoming and we had a great time. Thanks guys! read more

Saturday nights from 7pm to 2 in the morning There's a little section where gamers of the fighting genre gather and play casual and sometimes competitively in Ultra Street Fighter 4 and other games. I'm part of this group btw. Players bring arcade sticks and the pads and sometimes their own setups. It's a pretty rad place to play fighting games with local competitors of this Genre. There's a few that covers playing with these guys for fun or competitive. $5 covers you the whole night to play Street fighter, MVC and other games. There is 2 arcade machines, one is Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Capcom vs SNK Mark of the Millennium 2000. They are set on free play. When you come you'll also meet well known players who has also competed in Known Competitions like EVO, Capcom Cup and ETC. if your looking to get your fighting game style on or willing to try out this genre come on down. For more info you can join this group on Facebook known as "808 Fighters FGC". read more

Da Planet is a good place to go to straight up just chill. Customer Service is pretty good and Staff knows what they are talking about. Tho the location is pretty far and not as easy to get to as it's old Ala Moana location, it is still worth the traveling. Card Prices can be a bit higher than other shops. But they normally have all the cards you can't find at other shops. read more

Great stuff, if you need yugioh they have it they sell packs for very cheap and have lots of other things for other games highly recommend it and hope you guys or gals go to read more

This is, by far, my favorite card shop on the island. I only play MTG, but they sell cards and have tournaments for other games (pokemon, yu-gi-oh, etc.). I loved going on Saturday nights to play some friendly EDH with cool people. In addition to meeting up and playing magic, they also have an internet cafe (run by an outside source), that is open pretty late on weekends. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. Anthony is definitely my favorite of Da-Planet, and I really enjoy Jordan, who runs the internet cafe. Real nice people, and a real nice play to play casual (or competitive, if you want) CCGs. read more

So i went to this place with my Aunty, looking to sell my pokemon card collection. The so called "Expert" took a look at my cards and told me he would pay 50$ for the whole binder i came with. The binder had 1000+ cards with 100+ Ex cards. If your looking to sell your pokemon collection, let me save you time and tell you to not come here. If your looking for a place to sell your Pokemon Cards, theres this place at Waimalu Plaza where they'll give you amazing deals for Card games and more. The guy that worked there bought my Ex cards for 250$ Amen. read more

I've been to Da Planet a few times to purchase some cards. I was never happy with their customer service. They don't present a friendly vibe. Most items on the shelves aren't priced and asking for a price check takes time since they have to look up prices. My friend and I asked to look through the damaged inventory. A lot of the cards we asked about looked old and beaten and were priced as if they were only "lightly played". I didn't feel as if we were treated with respect over there. I think he should learn how to be more respectful, especially since he looks like he can't even curl a 5 lb dumbbell. I'll just stick to going to ToyLynx in town by Costco, Dole Cannery. They are much more friendlier, better customer service, and their pricing is a lot more reasonable than Da Planet. read more

Came here to play some modern MTG. Place has a lot of sealed and unsealed products. The environment is great and the people are really nice. Would definitely come back if I wasn't just here on vacation. read more

This is the best card shop on the island of Oahu. They are very helpful and kind. They have tournaments and a wide variety of trading cards. They don't have sports cards though. They sell booster packs, booster boxes, and even single cards. They have things such as Magic, Vanguard, Pokemon, Dragonball, Yugioh, and much more. read more

Yugioh, Magic the Gathering, and other more. They have all of those, if your not into card games you can just play computer games or other T.V. games with your local friends. The parking sucks and it gets very crowded some other days, so if your that person that hates to park in bad parking space or hates crowded area then Da Planets isn't the place for you to enjoy. Some of the employees are not nice at times too. Most of the popular or old cards are usually out of order. Good thing about Da Planets are, theres lots of places you can grab to eat when your feeling hungry although they do sell snacks and drinks or hot pockets. read more

First time here and it was awesome! Way higher then I set my expectations to. First, the store was easy to find. Second, the store was huge and has a huge collection from Yu-gi-oh, magic, vanguard, etc. They also had computers set up for any gaming. Third, the service was awesome! A nice man named Eugene, was very helpful. My bro and I dropped in for some yugioh cards. His knowledge on the cards was crazy good! He helped us out and gave us great advice. read more

This place is the absolute worst place filled with whiny semi-adult crybabies. Adolescents in adult bodies. Seriously avoid this place at all costs. They treat customers like garbage. If you aren't a regular who plays games in the store, they treat you like second class citizens. If you aren't a complete weirdo and are a normal person they treat you like a fool. Ask a rational question and you get responses that are real sharp and irritated like it's common knowledge and you should already know that. The people that work here seem to be at the top of the food chain in this twisted realm; however they would be at the bottom anywhere else. Its probably good they have a job here because they would never be hired anywhere else. They're strange, rude, and are the kind of people you just don't want to interact with. Pay them a visit and you'll see what I mean; but I don't recommend it! I'm certain they've experienced harassment and torment (it's a bizzaro world where the dorks are cool and the cool kids are to be picked on) throughout their lives but you'd think they'd treat others better knowing it doesn't feel good to be picked on. Purchase your cards online; it's always cheaper anyways. read more

One of the only card shops on the island that has a decent stock of Pokemon singles with competitive pricing. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about all things TCG. I used to shop here when I was into Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic, but now I sorta of got dragged into Pokemon again so I have a reason to come back! read more

Home to hands down the best gaming community in Hawaii. I miss the countless hours I used to spend here while lived on island. Coming back now after being awaynfor two years, not much has changed. The atmosphere is the same, the employees still just as helpful, and the prices are nearly unbeatable for sealed product. read more

Great spot and the staff is very helpful especially towards first time card players trying to figure out what to do.. huge inventory to choose from as well.. read more

In terms of products its ok but honestly Toylynks has better prices. Its the employees that makes this place horrible. They busted me for bringing in outside drink which honestly is weird because all I had was water and the place sells drinks too normally im not pissed about rules like this but what got me suspicious was that people can bring outside food but are not allowed to bring drinks honestly it makes no sense either allow both or ban both. Ok so I can understand having a rule for no drinks but they sell drinks so the reason can't be because of making a mess so why? Honestly it a dumb set of rules and they don't even enforce the rules because i see people bring drinks all the time and they don't even bust them THIS is what pisses me off. My friends get busted all the time for bringing drinks even if we assure them we wont be drinking them but they don't care and they didn't bust other people for actually legit breaking the rules. It's clear the employees play favorites so honestly I feel like they are mistreating me and my friends. We respect there rules and we stopped bringing drinks but we notice them eyeing us with a angry look so I can already tell they hate us even though we apologized for breaking the rules. This is only the surface. The employees are really rude too like when they bust people and when the guests apologize they give you this "you are on our shit list" look and they will literally ignore you if you need help especially if you are one of the unfortunate souls who got busted for something. I also over heard the employees insulting people too so this already shows they are disrespectful pricks. Finally the employees bring outside drinks too so they can't blame customers for bringing drinks cuz if the employees do it most people are going to assume its allowed. Finishing off the review with a pros & cons list Pros: - Its a card shop - meeting fellow card players Cons: - Rude employees - Bad rule enforcement - Favoritism - Expensive prices - Bad customer service - Bad attitude read more

Da Planet is a hobby store that sell card trading card games and a internet cafe. Da planet is located 2700 King St Honolulu Hawaii. I will be talking about three reasons why I like Da Planet more than any other card shop in Hawaii. The first reason why I love Da Planet is the products they sell.The difference between Da Planet and all the other card shop I visit is that Da Planet have a wide selection of card games they sell. Every time I go to a different card shop, they don't carry the card game I play but when I go to da planet they mostly have the card game I like in stock.According to a review on Yelp "Cheap tournaments are definitely a plus (like $10 Magic:the Gathering FNM Drafts!)"(T., Charlize).Another comment on Yelp he said "I come here for all my card needs. Although Double Dragon in Mililani is a lot closer to where we live, the drive is worth coming to Da Planet. It's always fun and can't wait to play again!"( D., Jenna.)Also internet care is a good place for me to relax after a hard day of playing card games I can play games like Overwatch ,Heroes and League on the PC and by the way they have TV to play Xbox and PlayStation so I feel like I'm at home when I'm at Da Planet. The second reason is The atmosphere is so nice in the planet it make me feel like I'm at home. The place make me feel welcome because I can play my card games with my friends all day there I don't have to rush all the time like the other card shops also the internet cafe is a good place for me to make new friends. I can play Overwatch with them and start a team and play online. Also the tournaments are cheap it only 10 dollars unlike the other stores it like 15 to 20 dollars It's cheaper to play at Da Planet then other card stores and when their pre release they rarely run out of Pre orders kits to play in the tournament. The last reason why I love the Da Planet is the customer service.This is one of the reason why I love going to Da Planet is the store workers,The store workers are really nice to me all the time they always help me with my deck and tell me what or what not to put in my deck also I have really good conversation with them about card game I play. In one of the review the guy said "Came here to play some modern MTG. Place has a lot of sealed and unsealed products. The environment is great and the people are really nice. Would definitely come back if I wasn't just here on vacation"(E., Alvin). Also we talk about video game like the the new update for Overwatch and what the new anime I should watch and what time the tournament start and what should I do to prep myself before the start of the tournament and how to prep my deck before hand. Da planet is one of the best places to visit if you like to find hobby.The reason why Da planet is better than the other car shop is that Da Planet has good customer services. The customer services is so nice to me that I feel welcome Every time I visit .The second reason is the atmosphere.The atmosphere is nice it feel like I'm at home all the time I visit because of the tv and all the video games and computer games I can play there it make me feel welcome.The last reason is the product they sell.The different between Da Planet and the other card shop is the variety of product they have more card product then some of the stores I visit it's so big that half the store is just card games. In one of the Yelp review I readed he said "I used to shop here when I was into Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic, but now I sorta of got dragged into Pokemon again so I have a reason to come back(L.Bryan)".This is the reason why I really love Da Planet more than any other store in Hawaii it so friendly that I would love people who play card games or not should visit the planet it a really awesome place to go on your free time. read more
